Atlético Madrid Targets Young Right-Backs
The Atlético Madrid is working for the upcoming season, considering several names that are currently on its agenda. It's not only Antoine Griezmann who is making headlines for the team in the transfer market.
The French player is attracting a lot of attention, but the Madrid team also needs to look for a right-back. The rumors about Sime Vrsaljko's departure are increasing, and Juanfran could benefit from a younger and more reliable replacement.
Yesterday, it was mentioned that Djibril Sidibé, a Monaco right-back, is being considered. And now, Mundo Deportivo mentions another full-back on Atlético's radar. In this case, we are referring to Pol Lirola, a 20-year-old Spanish defender who has become a key player for the Italian team, Sassuolo.
This young talent has played in 26 matches during the last season in Serie A, performing at a high level. He has great potential for the future, and that is why Diego Simeone's team is keeping an eye on him.
